Learn Fortnite solo strategies, including when to rush bosses, hot drops, and edge-of-map looting for high placement.
Noise always means enemy activity. If you're familiar with the map (your in-game radar (your minimap with nearby blips and threats marked)) and see something out of place, there was most likely another player there; this does not apply to chests in some cases. Rushing bosses alone at the start of a match often doesn't work out unless you find some killer loot. However, "hot drops" are often worthwhile. Taking matches slow can often be just as good as taking them fast – do what you're more comfortable with, but remember to step out of your comfort zone sometimes. Landing on the edge of the map in solos can grant you consistently high placement; during matches, your priority will be looting over fighting. Staying on the edge of the storm circle can prevent other solo players from sneaking up behind you. Mobility items are most useful in solo matches due to not having to worry about leaving your squad behind. Use them liberally.
